TalkTalk and DSCP and 19 second latency: Difference between revisions

m
 
=== What's DSCP and CS6? ===
DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point ) is a field in the header of IP packets. usually left empty, but a value can be usedadded towhich will clasiffy how the packets could be handeled by network equipment that support QoS (Quality of Service). eg, important packets can be classified has high priority with the hope that they will be able to jump any queues on network routers and get to the destination as fast as possible.
 
CS6 is one of these classification, and CS6 is described as 'Network control' and is one of the highest classifications available.
 
In our case, the Aruba is trying to give real-time traffic the highest priority possible.
 
'''Note:''' The classification below CS6 is described as Telephony - which may have been more appropriate, and in our tests, this traffic is unaffected by TalkTalk's network.
